Shopcam: Antique Gun Display

Rick was commissioned to build a secure display cabinet for the antique gun collection at the Shafer Museum in Winthrop. He special-ordered a sheet of polycarbonate (bullet proof, better than safety glass) which will be installed in the door, with locks on both sides. Here’s a photo taken from a ladder in the shop (the cabinet will be mounted on a wall):

Some of these came from Simon Shafer’s personal collection, and others have been donated to the museum over the years. I think the oldest gun dates to 1832.
